D1 capital is a Robinhood investor and was reported to have lost 20% in the markets due to this revolt.
That was my impression as well.

"You're not doing it the way we did it, so we're assuming you must be doing other nefarious things as well."

That's some pretty serious hubris and not something I've seen before in the crypto space. I've just always assumed most of the people in crypto worked together to build a better product which seems to be constantly under attack from governments. This is the first time I've seen one group call out another group simply because they didn't do it "the FB way"?

Is this just some healthy competition between two competing products or is FB actively trying to undermine Telegram's product??
Maybe. Growing up in the U.S., my obvious lack of straight teeth (single mother could not afford braces for my sister or me) gave away my pedigree.
We already know that this is not what happened with reddit. And there's absolutely no reason to think RH has done this either. It is also grossly naïve to think that any investor who wasn't short on GME isn't already on the bandwagon.

This this this.

We’ve sort of settled on the architecture of our “stack” mostly by historical accident. It has constantly been the local maxima for various variables throughout our short history. And because of the inertia of the mass of what we’ve built that mostly works we don’t look outside very far.

There are a lot of excellent ideas that were too early, or due to a coin toss not taken, or killed because of winner-takes-all market competition, or because they were just some footnote at the bottom of a paper some researcher wrote and never investigated. These ideas are ripe for investigation.

I’ve been reading papers and looking at source code from the early days of programming languages. There was definitely more interplay between the design of the machine’s API (the instruction set) and programming language designers than we see these days. Our ISAs are made to emulate a PDP-11 running C (a glib take I know but not entirely inaccurate). Oh yeah, we also now get an instruction that handles JavaScript floats better. :-)
The problem with most welfare schemes is they have big welfare cliffs. You make one dollar more than a certain amount and you lose thousands in benefits. It's the virtual equivalent of a greater than 100% marginal income tax.

Also, countries with greater welfare programs don't have greater entrepreneurship. The opposite is somewhat true. Probably due to higher taxes and it's very hard to go out of business once you're in business and to fire employees in other countries.

> Love using qutebrowser. Really an amazing opensource browser! The only extension necessary for me was adblocking and now it's even better!

Yay, glad to hear that!

> I did/continue to have issues with qt-webengine though, like 144hz monitor with qt webengine is limited to 60hz but these things are unrelated to qutebrowser.

I'm assuming you're already aware of it, but for context, here's the related Qt bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-76006

> In fact most of my "bugs" can be related to upstream qt webengine and wayland support. I feel bad for the authors of qutebrowser for so often getting issues that is actually an upstream bug in qt.

It's not that bad, qutebrowser also has more than enough bugs on its own :D

Jokes aside: If I can reproduce something myself, I'll gladly report it upstream. If possible in any way, I'll add a workaround to qutebrowser. Sometimes neither is the case, then I'll close those bugs asking the reporter to report them upstream directly.

> It doesn't help that qt webengine work is rather slow (imo)

Yeah, it is. It's a relatively small team working on QtWebEngine, and even just keeping up with Chromium changes (and backporting security fixes) is a monumental task. When they update their Chromium snapshot (a subset of the entire Chromium tree), often there are millions of changed lines, and I've heard they regularly need around a person-month or so to adjust their stable API to those changes.

Still, there are only very few alternatives to it, and there's no way qutebrowser could shoulder this kind of work directly (by e.g. being based on Chromium's source, something people did suggest in the past).

> There's magic about pressing "o" and typing in what you want to search from history or Google which is so fast and efficient. I have tried similar setups on other browsers but in qutebrowser the search algos are so simple and snappy, it works great. My colleagues sometimes were amazed at how fast I could navigate across the browser all thanks to this great software

Hehe, yeah! There's a lot of logic people want to add to that (e.g. sorting by frequency weighed in rather than just recency), but all of that has the potential of making things much less snappy. I kind of like the simple approach, but I'm also open to improving it if it can yield even better matches without sacrificing performance. It's a hard balance to strike sometimes.

> Thank you qutebrowser!

You're welcome!
It's because we like to believe we live in a meritocratic society, where the people who have wealth have earned and deserved it.

There is a strong incentive for the successful to ignore all the many advantages they had in getting where they are in order to believe they 'pulled themselves up by their bootstraps' and that anyone as hard working or intelligent as they are could do the same. By convincing themselves of this, they are able to believe that they deserve everything they have and poor people deserve to be poor, and, being inherently superior, it is therefore ok to exploit their lessers.

This thinking is a hallmark of prejudice. White supremist have long held that black people and other races are genetically inferior, less intelligent, lazier, more prone to violence or criminality, etc. to justify their position. I have less experience with it, but it seems the same sort of rationalization is at work with the Indian caste nonsense too.

P.S. While your question seems to be meant in the objective sense of "why would one expect that intelligence and entrepreneurship are correlated?", it is apparently being interpreted as "why should society function such that entrepreneurship is a path available to anyone with enough intelligence?".
The responses in this thread are frankly disturbing.

People are accusing Robinhood of manipulating the market on behalf of short funds, when WSB had literally been systematically stopping these funds out. Pot and kettle much?

People don't seem to understand what is protective about these actions. They aren't stopping anyone from closing positions - just from opening or adding to positions in the middle of a speculative mania. However you feel about that, it's exactly what retail brokers do, and always has been. Do you really think people buying into AMC right now are anything other than bag holders? The company is teetering on bankruptcy. The stock will quite possibly be worth $0 in the next year or so. Why should Robinhood let people blow up their accounts? How would the SEC and CFTC look upon that?

People are saying this is unacceptable and that they're going to move to a different broker. What broker? Virtually all of the retail brokers did this today.

I think Robinhood is a terrible broker that encourages overtrading and frames markets as being almost purely about price action, and if you want to close your account there and move to a better broker then I think that's great. But the reasons being given here are disconnected with reality.

> I really wonder if a court would entertain a temporary injunction forcing RH to reverse this move.

Almost certainly not. Quoting from a typical motion to deny a temporary injunction:

> As courts have repeatedly emphasized, an injunction represents an “extraordinary remedy” that is never awarded as a matter of right. See Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008). For a preliminary injunction to issue, the moving party has the burden of demonstrating all four of the following elements: (1) that it is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; (3) that the balance of equities tips in its favor; and (4) that an injunction serves the public interest. Winter, 555 U.S. at 20.

How is there any irreparable harm here? The worst that a customer would face is that they lose money--which is the most reparable harm.

That's a lot to learn.
ah okay. I wasn't sure what services RH offered and didn't. The amount of meme-ery around them had me wondering if they had decided to go beyond being a broker to try and extract more money from users like they do by selling access to their order flow.

Everybody screaming "class action lawsuit" is lying to themselves. I'm pretty confident this is totally within Robinhood's rights according to their terms and conditions (that everybody with an account agreed to).
They could even do this without too many major changes. Just three in fact:

- Increase HSA Contribution Limit

- Allow both Traditional & High Deductible insurance premiums to be paid with the HSA

- Ban employers from directly providing/choosing insurance (ex. US Military)

Essentially everyone goes out onto the open market and buys their insurance using pre-tax HSA contributions (similar to tax benefits to employers now). Employers can continue to "help" be providing dollars to HSA/HSA match, rather than picking your insurance for you.

There are more radical and arguably better solutions, but if you want to see a large improvement with minimal changes/the least controversy this is it. Most insurance companies could likely just convert existing employer provided policies into employee direct ones paid via HSA.
I understand that the hedge funds stand to lose a lot of money, and potentially go bankrupt, but isn't that just one of the risks when you play the stock market? There is no guarantee that all your bets will end up making you money. If you want a sure thing, put your money in bonds or some other investment that has low risk. The hedge funds are acting like they deserve to make money off their shorts and them not making that money is theft in some way.

To be quite clear, I qualified with idiomatic. I don't think you can create an OO mess with idiomatic Go or Rust, but then again, the whole point of this thread is that there's no clear consensus on what OO actually means, so what does "OO mess" mean.

> how many people are getting rich from this stock pop

The people getting rich are the market makers. This is the hole in the Wall Street vs. the Rebels argument the media seems to be trying to pigeonhole this into.

The first-order losers are the hedge funds who, for some stupid reason, expressed their short view through actual shorting versus through puts and the retail investors who bought at inflated prices. The second-order losers will be the brokers, who will likely face margin losses, options-settlement losses, investor lawsuits, regulatory fines and Congressional attention for enabling the pump and dump and then ham-fistedly trying to stop it.
I know there's a lot of conspiracy around wall st screwing over the little guy here, I suspect the truth is more mundane. When the music stops a LOT of people will be left holding the bag and will lose a great deal of money. There are people putting their parents life savings into GME at $300/share. It's insane, and nothing but pure gambling at this point. I suspect regulators are extremely concerned at the risk people are exposing themselves to.

Okay I understand the concern, but claiming that there is intent to hold keys to all e2ee is jumping to conclusions. Imagine if investigators could ask authorities for permission to retrieve screenshots from your mobile device if you are under investigation. There would be no need for access to keys.

>But why literate programming isn't more popular is beyond me.

One issue with literate programming is that it advertised a single narrative for code. Only code is data, and there are always many narratives about data. This change might look cosmetic, but it is actually fundamental.

In Glamorous Toolkit, beside having multiple views, we also embedded an interactive notebook right in the development environment and through it we tell interactive stories about the inside the system.
This philosophy is whas has been driving our work at planetary.social, building out protocols and tools for public sphere managed by the participants instead of the platforms.
This article is completely orthogonal. Yes, building more pushes price down. Eventually though, you stop being able to increase density economically, and at that point the only way to prevent housing prices from increasing is rent restrictions.

It's important to note that even according to your article, you need to drastically increase supply even for a modest decrease in rent.

No one here is against increasing density. It is however insane to believe that increasing density is enough to fix the problem. Cities at the edge of density still have affordability issues, whereas much less dense cities with appropriate rent restrictions don't.

There is not a single reference to induced demand here. As long as housing stays a profitable investment, and as long as density cannot be increased infinitely without increasing marginal costs, then rent will rise.

The only long term solution is to reduce the profitability of speculation on land prices, so that only productive activities, such as building, are profitable. Rent restrictions are part of this, as rent is a large part of the profitability of land.

And rent restrictions can work. There are many cases where they have been implemented without a significantly negative impact to mobility. So why oppose them?
this is a risk management move for RH, nothing else
You're exactly right that funding - or rather adequate effort - is what's missing, necessary to enforce and guide people along a protocol that will need to evolve as we learn how to better, more efficiently guide people towards calm rationality and reasoning; helping to open people's hearts and minds, healing whatever past unhealed/unprocessed trauma they likely have - along with helping them work through whatever blocks they have, whether misconceptions, emotion, or from an unhealthy body, nervous system.

We need to condemn any design that puts aesthetics, minimalism, "look" or "coolness" in front of pragmatism, safety, functionality, practicality, usability and accessibility.

This whole problem is actually to do with what the public wants. Designers are delivering exactly what they want. And customers are ruined by conditioning from marketing that "touchscreens are better! who wants those stupid buttons and dials", bean counters are getting their bonuses because they just replaced expensive buttons/dials (with automotive reliability ratings) with a $13 touchscreen a bunch of software to control stuff. So, we're never going to get out of this.

The market for utilitarian design is vanishingly small. The public is depressingly gullible and moronic.

Europeans may be more risk averse too -- perhaps more YOLOs in America because there's nothing to lose, where as in Europe you can still have a normalish life, but it's not just a strong safety net either though -- many unicorn concepts were done in Europe, but they didn't become big globally.

Maybe the lack of VC to scale - a lot of money sloshing around in SF. Maybe there's less of an culture of thinking "my way is the best" that Americans have more than others[0], maybe the smaller cultural market (there are 350 million Americans, only 30 million Spaniards). Maybe could be Americans are more into Consumer Ethnocentrism and less likely to buy into foreign things than Europeans too (the number of American flags waving around in the states is shocking). I wouldn't expect to see "Designed in Finland" if I bought a nokia phone. The US market has always been far harder for europeans - even Brits - to crack than the other way round.
